Been enjoying the autumn colchicums, love the pale flowered C. cilicicum. We're at opposite extremes with Colchicum, the "glacial" ice layer is now receded off about 30% of my yard (just happened the last day or two) and already see lilac pink buds on C. doerfleri. Close to the warm south side of the house C. kesselringii forms have been trying to bloom, but it only rose above freezing two days ago, so the blooms are a bit beat up after a number of nights down to 12-14 F.
